zzImages are automatically saved to the 
computer when you turn it on.
zzImages are automatically sent to Web 
services from the CANON iMAGE

or an AC adapter kit (sold separately, =
  126).
•	 Even if images were imported to the computer through a different method, any 
images not sent to the computer via CANON iMAGE GATEWAY will be sent to 
the computer.
•	 Sending is faster when the destination is a computer on the same network\
 
as the camera, because images are sent via the access point instead of 
CANON iMAGE GATEWAY. Note that images stored on the computer are 
sent to CANON iMAGE GATEWAY, so the computer must be connected to the 
Internet.

images are regularly erased, so make sure to turn on the computer and 
save the images.
zzFollow the steps in “Connecting to WPS-
Compatible Access Points” (=  103) to 
choose [].

in your geotagged still images or movies. Be careful when sharing
